INFORMATION SHEET Animals approved for zoos in New Zealand as of June 2021 This is an alphabetical list of animals that can be held in zoos* in New Zealand. Approval numbers that begin with “PRE” were approved prior to July 29 1998 and were subsequently transferred to the HSNO Act. Approval numbers that begin with “NOC” are animal species approved under the HSNO Act after that date. Key to this document: * Approvals may only be used by facilities that are open to the public and approved by the Ministry for Primary Industries for the containment of that species unless the approval code is followed by one of the following symbols: † The approved zoo facility is not required to be open to the public. †† The approval may only be used by the Keystone Wildlife Conservancy containment facility (now known as Gibbs Wildlife Conservancy). ††† Species can also be held under facilities approved to the MAF/ERMA New Zealand Containment Facilities for Vertebrate Laboratory Animals.

Abstract: This study describes the results and collection practices for obtaining arthropod samples to be stud- ied as potential sources of new medicines in a bioprospecting effort. From 1994 to 1998, 1800 arthropod sam- ples of 6-10 g were collected in 21 sites of the Área de Conservación Guancaste (A.C.G) in Northwestern Costa Rica. The samples corresponded to 642 species distributed in 21 orders and 95 families. Most of the collections were obtained in the rainy season and in the tropical rainforest and dry forest of the ACG. Samples were obtained from a diversity of arthropod orders: 49.72% of the samples collected corresponded to Lepidoptera, 15.75% to Coleoptera, 13.33% to Hymenoptera, 11.43% to Orthoptera, 6.75% to Hemiptera, 3.20% to Homoptera and 7.89% to other groups.

    Predation of Anetia Briarea Godart (Nymphalidae

    Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 49(3), 1995, 223-233 PREDATION OF ANETIA BRIAREA GODART (NYMPHALIDAE: DANAINAE) AT AGGREGAllION SITES: A POTENTIAL THREAT TO THE SUR VIV AL OF A RARE MONT ANE BUTTERFLY IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC DEREK S. SIKES AND MICHAEL A. IVIE Department of Entomology, Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana 59717, USA ABSTRACT. Evidence of predation on Anetia briarea was discovered at the single known aggregation site on Pico Duarte in the Dominican Republic. In addition to birds, feral rats (Rattus rattus L.) are hypothesized to be involved in predatory activity affecting the aggregation. Analyses show no biases in the sex, size, or color of A. briarea taken as prey. Steps that can be taken to protect the aggregating butterflies include removal of exotic rats from the colony area. RESUMEN. Evidencia de predacion de Anetia briarea fue descubierta en el unico sitio conocido de agregacion en Pico Duarte en la Republica Dominicana. Ademas de pajaros, se cree que ratas (Rattus rattus), estan involucradas en la predlacion de las colonias. Un amilisis de predacion de las colonias de A. briarea muestra no tendencia por el genero, tamaiio, 0 color de la presa. Actividades para proteger las mariposas que se estan agregando incluyen la eliminacion de las ratas extraiias del sitio de agregacion. Additional key words: rats, conservation biology, West Indies. Predation on butterflies, although thought to be important evolu­ tionarily, is rarely observed in the field (Brown & Vasconcellos 1976, Bowers et al. 1985, Brower & Calvert 1985). With the exception of the observations documenting predation of monarchs at overwintering sites (Brower & Calvert 1985, Sakai 1994) most of our knowledge regarding predation on butterflies is obtained indirectly by analysis of the evidence of predation, such as beak-marked (e.g.

    Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 2

    Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 2 by Thomas M. Costa and Eric L. Boyd Art by Noëlle Triaureau Editorial assistance from Joe “Warlockco” Weber A NOTE FROM THE AUTHORS Welcome to volume two of the Bestiary of the Realms. As this is our second volume, you’ll find several score new or converted monsters, as well as a few different interpretations of monsters that have already been converted. A word of caution, just as many official 3E and 3.5E monsters did not slavishly follow earlier write-ups of those monsters, neither do the monsters herein. Instead, we did our best to consider all sources, hopefully make full and creative use of the 3.5E rules (including non-core WotC books), and in many cases add a little bit here and there to many of the monsters, even if it was in only adding or updating their Realms lore. A few have even been renamed. One last note, we’ve done our best to include source references for all things where appropriate, except those found in the three core rulebooks or Expanded Psionics Handbook. Until then, Sword High! – Thomas M. Costa and Eric L. Boyd ABOUT THE AUTHORS Thomas M. Costa is a senior analyst with the Government Accountability Office.

    Evolution and Ontology 1 This is a Final Manuscript In Press: To appear in the International Journal of Science Education The Nature of Naive Explanations of Natural Selection Michel Ferrari & Michelene T.H. Chi Learning Research and Development Center University of Pittsburgh [email protected] Running head: Evolution and Ontology Address correspondence to: Michelene T.H Chi Learning Research and Development Center 3939 O’Hara Street Pittsburgh, PA 15260 email: [email protected] 31 March 1998 Evolution and Ontology 2 Abstract Unlike some pivotal ideas in the history of science, the basic notion of natural selection is remarkably simple and so one might expect most students to easily grasp the basic principles of the Darwinian theory; yet many students nevertheless have difficulty understanding Darwinian evolution. We suggest that misconceptions about natural selection arise from mistaken categorization. Our thesis for explaining students’ failure to understand this concept, or evolution in general, is not that they necessarily fail to understand individual Darwinian principles; rather, they often fail to understand the ontological features of equilibration processes, of which evolution is one instance. They thus attribute the evolutionary process in general, and natural selection in particular, with event-like properties. For example, naive students appear to focus on the idea of survival of the fittest, but embed this idea within an event ontology that involves actors struggling to overcome obstacles and achieve goals. Results showed that most naive subjects’ evolutionary explanations reflected an event ontology. Furthermore, event ontology attributes were positively correlated with Non-darwinian explanations; by contrast, equilibration attributes, when present, were positively correlated with key Darwinian principles.
  • A Molecular Phylogeny of the Neotropical Butterfly Genus Anartia

    A Molecular Phylogeny of the Neotropical Butterfly Genus Anartia

    MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS AND EVOLUTION Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 26 (2003) 46–55 www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev A molecular phylogeny of the neotropical butterfly genus Anartia (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) Michael J. Blum,a,b,* Eldredge Bermingham,b and Kanchon Dasmahapatrab,c a Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, NC 27705, USA b Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Naos Island Molecular Laboratories, Unit 0948, APO-AA 34002-0948, Panama, FL, USA c Department of Biology, Galton Laboratory, University College, 4 Stephenson Way, London NW1 2HE, UK Received 2 August 2001; received in revised form 17 June 2002 Abstract While Anartia butterflies have served as model organisms for research on the genetics of speciation, no phylogeny has been published to describe interspecific relationships. Here, we present a molecular phylogenetic analysis of Anartia species relationships, using both mitochondrial and nuclear genes. Analyses of both data sets confirm earlier predictions of sister species pairings based primarily on genital morphology. Yet both the mitochondrial and nuclear gene phylogenies demonstrate that Anartia jatrophae is not sister to all other Anartia species, but rather that it is sister to the Anartia fatima–Anartia amathea lineage. Traditional bi- ogeographic explanations for speciation across the genus relied on A. jatrophae being sister to its congeners. These explanations invoked allopatric divergence of sister species pairs and multiple sympatric speciation events to explain why A. jatrophae flies alongside all its congeners. The molecular phylogenies are more consistent with lineage divergence due to vicariance, and range expansion of A. jatrophae to explain its sympatry with congeners. Further interpretations of the tree topologies also suggest how morphological evolution and eco-geographic adaptation may have set species range boundaries.

In view of the importance of sampling these areas, the present study conducted the first butterfly inventory of a coastal area in the state of Paraná. Samples were taken in the Floresta Estadual do Palmito, from February 2014 through January 2015, using insect nets and traps for fruit-feeding butterfly species. A total of 200 species were recorded, in the families Hesperiidae (77), Nymphalidae (73), Riodinidae (20), Lycaenidae (19), Pieridae (7) and Papilionidae (4). Particularly notable records included the rare and vulnerable Pseudotinea hemis (Schaus, 1927), representing the lowest elevation record for this species, and Temenis huebneri korallion Fruhstorfer, 1912, a new record for Paraná. These results reinforce the need to direct sampling efforts to poorly inventoried areas, to increase knowledge of the distribution and occurrence patterns of butterflies in Brazil. Key words: Atlantic Forest, Biodiversity, conservation, inventory, species richness. INTRODUCTION the importance of inventories to knowledge of the fauna and its conservation, the present study inventoried the species of Faunal inventories are important for providing knowledge butterflies of the Floresta Estadual do Palmito.

    The 2008 IUCN Red Listings of the World's Small Carnivores

    The 2008 IUCN red listings of the world’s small carnivores Jan SCHIPPER¹*, Michael HOFFMANN¹, J. W. DUCKWORTH² and James CONROY³ Abstract The global conservation status of all the world’s mammals was assessed for the 2008 IUCN Red List. Of the 165 species of small carni- vores recognised during the process, two are Extinct (EX), one is Critically Endangered (CR), ten are Endangered (EN), 22 Vulnerable (VU), ten Near Threatened (NT), 15 Data Deficient (DD) and 105 Least Concern. Thus, 22% of the species for which a category was assigned other than DD were assessed as threatened (i.e. CR, EN or VU), as against 25% for mammals as a whole. Among otters, seven (58%) of the 12 species for which a category was assigned were identified as threatened. This reflects their attachment to rivers and other waterbodies, and heavy trade-driven hunting. The IUCN Red List species accounts are living documents to be updated annually, and further information to refine listings is welcome.

    3. Aonyx Congicus Red List 2020

    Aonyx congicus - Lönnberg, 1910 ANIMALIA - CHORDATA - MAMMALIA - CARNIVORA - MUSTELIDAE - Aonyx - congicus Common Names: Congo Clawless Otter (English), Cameroon Clawless Otter (English), Kleinkrallen- Fingerotter (German), Kongo-Fingerotter (German), Loutre à joues blanches du Cameroun (French), Loutre à joues blanches du Congo (French), Nutria Inerme de Camerún (Spanish; Castilian), Paraonyx tacheté (French), Small-clawed Otter (English), Small-toothed Clawless Otter (English), Zaire Clawless Otter (English) Synonyms: No Synonyms Taxonomic Note: Allen (1924) and Davis (1978) treated A. capensis and A. congicus as being conspecific, arguing that they represent clinal variations of the same species. However, mainly based on tooth size and skin differences, Rosevear (1974), Van Zyll de Jong (1987), Wozencraft (1993), and Larivière (2001) considered A. capensis and A. congicus as separate species, but this remains debated, and Wozencraft (2005) did not retain A. congicus as a valid species, contrary to the opinion of the IUCN SSC Otter Specialist Group (www.otterspecialistgroup.org) (Jacques et al. 2009). The name Aonyx congica is often found in the literature but A. congicus is the correct spelling as Aonyx, from the Greek ‘onux’, is masculine (Van Bree et al. 1999).

A total of 74 species (31%) within the Reserves were considered very rare. e Nee Soon ion: Marine Introduction l impact of The study of butterflies by amateurs is not new, and indeed, it is through onservation. the observations of these dedicated individuals that much important data have been accumulated over the years.
